Two Florida men are at the Pope County Detention Center after state police found $5 million worth of marijuana in a tractor-trailer.

Pedro Tores, 41, and Luis Santana, 36, were arrested early Monday for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver after a trooper with the Arkansas State Police stopped the duo for a traffic violation on Interstate 40 eastbound. In a report provided by the arresting officer, the trooper noted Tores and Santana to be “extremely nervous” and provided conflicting stories. When questioned, logs of the men’s trip indicated the pair had an extensive amount of downtime, according to the report.

During a consented search of the tractor-trailer, the trooper discovered four pallets containing 146 bales of marijuana weighing 3,175 pounds with an estimated street value of more than $5 million. The drugs and $4,619 dollars in cash were seized.

At a hearing Wednesday, District Court Judge Don Bourne set a bond of $250,000 for Tores and Santana individually. If charged, the pair will appear in circuit court on Oct. 17.
